The FAA shutdown and other Friday the 13th weirdness in the U.S.A.

[Kryztian]

It seems like there is a big confluence of strange events happening right now in the U.S.A. (and at U.S. military bases in the United Kingdom) on this evening November 13, 2026.

• Late this afternoon Eastern Standard time, the FAA shut down all flight traffic in the USA. Any planes that were on runways were not permitted to leave. It seems this problem originated at O-Hare Airport, and them spread to Newark and may have to do with some kind of telecommunication outage. This flight ban should be in effect until at least 11 pm tonight. There is a new type of "smart" software that was introduced into airtraffic control program this week. This seems to be artificial intelligence based. Donald Trump was supposed to fly to Mira Lago tonight but those plans seems to have been canceled sometime ago - did the White House know something was about to happen?
  
  
• There is a major Microsoft Outage for it's consumer products happening now in it's second day.
  
  
• Many military U S Bases in the United Kingdom are now on lockdown, because of an imminent threat and sirens are sounding. There is suspected unauthorized drone activity.
  
  
• In New Orleans, an asphalt tanker crashed into a River Boat. 14 people ended up in the water. Not clear if anyone died.

It's not clear if any of these events are related.

An asphalt tanker hits a riverboat that was in the process of embarking. Most of the passengers were elderly. Per this report, it seems like most people got off. At the time there were about 125 still on the boat. There were people in the water, most of them seemed to be crew from this report.

I believe there was a lot of drone activity in Mildenhall and Lakenheath in the late Fall of 2024 when military drones were also over New Jersey.

And I am guess in the Trump administration is planning a nuclear attack on Iran this weekend, this could be where the nukes are coming from.

US Air Force Responds to Drone Activity at Base in UK After Iran Threat

The U.S. Air Force has responded to suspected unauthorized drone activity over RAF Lakenheath in England, days after American military aircraft were relocated from nearby RAF Mildenhall following reports of a threat from Iran.

A U.S. Air Force European Command spokesperson told Newsweek that USAF Security Forces personnel had responded to the activity at Lakenheath, the largest U.S. Air Force base in the United Kingdom with around 7,000 American service personnel, on Friday evening local time.

The Air Force said it was working closely with British counterparts to ensure the safety and security of military personnel, civilians and their families. "Protecting our shared community is a joint responsibility, and we encourage everyone to support this effort by reporting any unusual or suspicious activity to local authorities," the spokesperson said.

The statement comes after reports of air sirens at three bases: Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall and RAF Feltwell.

It remains unclear how many drones were involved in Friday's incident, who operated them, or whether any were intercepted. The U.S. Air Force has not publicly identified a suspect or provided further details about the response.

Amtrak booking system experiencing major issues amid nationwide FAA ground stop

WASHINGTON - Amtrak's ticket booking system is reportedly down Friday evening, as thousands of travelers across the U.S. deal with a nationwide FAA ground stop.

What we know:
Users on social media started sharing frustrations over ticket reservations Friday afternoon, with travelers showing error messages on Amtrak's website and app.

Hundreds of users have reported issues on DownDetector, beginning shortly before 5 p.m. Friday, with another surge just before 6 p.m.

Amtrak says issues caused by increased demand
What they're saying:
In response to a request for comment, Amtrak's Communications Director W. Kyle Anderson said that "Amtrak service is operating normally, and we are seeing increased demand for travel across our network."

Responding to a frustrated customer Friday, Amtrak officials said in a post on X that the booking issues were related to a system-wide update, but did not elaborate.

I immediately think it might be hackers.

Increased demand?! No way.. that can't be right. It just sounds false. I'm trying to use my intuition here!

[Kryztian]

Some updates on the FAA system:

• Airports are having problems because there are so many planes that can't take off, so there is no room for other planes to land.

Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy gave a press conference and made some points:

• No one was ever in danger but actions were taken "out of an abundance of caution." Anyone who believe otherwise is a "conspiracy theorist." They haven't ruled out "nefarious activities" but it is probably "legacy equipment" (that is 1980s technology.) The "smart system" (which is probably A.I.) is not plugged in, so it is not part of the problem.
  
  
• "Instability was experience" at 3:36 PM at air traffic control centers. The system was immediately shut down.
  
  
• The airspace was opened up at 8:15 tonight, but it will take some time to "unwind" what happened today. Hopefully, every thing will be fully operational before the Thanksgiving rush.
  
  
• The problem is because Congress won't fund the air traffic controls systems and the routers are out of date. Lots and lots and lots of blaming here that they didn't get enough money. Even thought both houses have had a Republican majority over the last years, they have to blame the Democrats. Also lots of remarks about what a great leader Trump is, even though he has never publicly alterted the U.S. or the Congress about the problem.
  
  
• The collision in New Orleans is completely unrelated to what happened with the FAA. There are 32 people in the hospital there, but no one is in critical condition. No one died in the New Orlean collision today.

So many people who had their flights cancelled may have gone to Amtrak as an alternative. It could have overloaded the system.

Just another example of how when one system fails another one gets overloaded and goes down too.

But Project Avalon website was working just fine thanks to Pythonic-Bovine technologies.

I was listening press conference .. it is distrustful, first they need 50 billion dollars... talk was about money... but I still do not know, what happened even after that press conference.... they were also talking very much in contradictory term... we shall hear more and more like that I know... my sense... it was staged!

Adding Brian's video here.. well said.

I don’t a-priori trust guys who call themselves “Dick”, Richards or otherwise. Personal experience. In this case, too much “he said”.

I might change my mind, if his sources were to be known and known about.


Tintin, how do you think remote viewing works? My takes include somehow tapping into the input of the Akashic Record. Who knows how that works, maybe there’s gaming in the front end?

I’ve heard that huge human congreget energies, like preparations/intentions for warring, have a kind of momentum that must play out. Can’t be stopped. If that is so, then there may be a signal, something inherent there, inate to that, somehow accessible in real time.

Got any thoughts? Cheers.

I couldn't resist replying myself, as I've been immensely interested in this for years. The one-sentence answer is that consciousness isn't bound by time or space, and that the physical human brain interfaces with consciousness rather than creating it.

(I've copied this to the How Remote Viewing Works thread... please reply there rather than here! )

[Blastolabs]

Remote viewing works because the universe is created by the minds of all living things. That means we can perceive information from anywhere, at any time, since we're the ones creating it.

I've taught a few small classes, and every time 100% of people described the target, even with zero experience. One experienced viewer gave a description far more detailed than if he'd been told the target, yet he never realized what it was. I wrote about it on Avalon.

On topic: the downed flights were most likely caused by Microsoft 365, which includes Outlook email, used by nearly every airline.

Per Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy the SMART systems has not yet been activated and the shut down yesterday is due to 1980s hardware and not current software. The parts of the system that are recent tech were functioning just fine through this shutdown and recent slowdowns.

Power to the People ☭🕊

A pilot who was in the air yesterday when the FAA announced the nationwide ground stop is speaking out:

“This whole thing is a big farce. All the communications are working just fine in the air.”

What is going on? Did Trump and Duffy plan this whole thing to get a $50 billion gov’t contract for one of the oligarchs they serve?

Was this a manufactured emergency to privatize our air traffic control system?

Our nation’s infrastructure is aging due to neglect from our corrupt government that spends all its time serving capital and funding war, but there are more questions than answers about what happened yesterday.

For all we know this $50 billion could be another grift and not the safe, modern, and secure air traffic control system we need. Also, under no circumstances should we hand over air traffic control to artificial intelligence.

This whole thing reeks and we need to get to the bottom of what really happened yesterday. https://x.com/offtheraiIs/status/212...847833/video/1

Marjorie Taylor Greene 🇺🇸

I’m literally blown away by the amount of people that fell for the total garbage that they got fed at that press conference yesterday.

If you’re an American, we as a country are in over $40 trillion in debt, have spent approximately $15 trillion in foreign countries and foreign wars over the past 25 years, and yet they have done **** updating our infrastructure that is literally falling apart.

And then they force all airplanes to stop yesterday creating chaos all over the country and fear among the American people sending them to the grocery stores buying emergency supplies and then they turn around and demand more money, $50 billion, and then lie at a press conference about what happened.

I don’t care who they are. I don’t care who you voted for, if you’re not pissed off then there is absolutely no help for you.

Yes, duh, we need to update our systems.

Yes, duh, it takes money to do that.

We, as Americans, pay $5.7 trillion a year in taxes, they have plenty of money to update all of our infrastructure all over the country if they actually gave a damn, they would do it.

But they don’t give a damn.

And if you’re living under some delusion that they do, then you’re beyond help.

Washington DC doesn’t work for you the American people no matter which party is in control.

They work for the big corporations and lobbyist, the big donors that fund their campaigns, and even foreign nations for foreign causes.

Wake up!

The American people are basically raped, robbed, and pillaged over and over again and if you continue to stay loyal to a political party like you are for your favorite sports team and excuse every single failure just because that’s your party, then you are not able to face truth and reality and nothing will ever change.

You get treated like crap because you take it and you continue to vote for it.

I’ve been to Washington. I know how it works.

The bull**** ends when you finally stand up for yourself and realize they’ve been lying to you all along and using you like a dirty rag and they have no intention of changing anything

Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸

Two former Republican members of Congress who fully understand that Gov funding runs out Dec 11th so they used a crisis like public blackmail to fly safely and demanded $50 BILLION dollars in the budget from the still Republican Congress.
And no one believes them or feels safer

Clip from my weekend emergency alert podcast today - Describing how our corrupt, failed federal government is actually weaponized against us. And they're lying to us about the actual cause of the Friday chaos. It looks more and more like they DELIBERATELY brought the whole system down to terrorize America and run a $50 billion SHAKEDOWN for money. There's nothing the federal government won't do to terrorize the American people and confiscate yet more money from the taxpayers.

Was the whole FAA air traffic disaster STAGED is a form of holding America HOSTAGE to demand billions of dollars for contractors mostly owned by Israeli investors? That's the explanation here:
